Crank adjustment after assembly?
I looked at crank picture and it seems like pretty easy to repair. If crank is not welded from factory, it can be taken apart and bearings/connecting rods replaced. Shop press is needed to put it back together. I don't understand how to align crank halves. Who repaired crank? There should be some alignment tool. Are bearings and connecting rods for sale separately?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I am a car mechanic, specializing in engine repair. I never repaired a bike engine. Repairing Harley engines seems like easy job.

Let me & others try to understand this, you looked at a picture? seemed easy? & now you ask on a public forum about bearings, rods, tools etc. along with who repairs cranks?
with all due respect - I think you bit off more than you should of!!!!

That is it! Thanks. Do you know how to turn one half to adjust? Something like big channel-locks. I'll try to find a video on youtube.
